Harriman's Future Seems To Hinge on Public Judgment of Yalta Documents
Papers Possibly
To Be Determining
Factor in Career
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington OJ.R) Barrin
fewer than half a dozen, th
major figures of the disputed
Yalta conference are dead or in
their declining years their fu
tures behind them.
But to one 63-year-old Ameri
can with his eves on the White
House, the Yalta papers now
published are so important to
his political future as to De al
most a determining factor. He is
Averell Harriman. the first
Democrat in 20 years to be
elected governor of the state of
New York.
To Support Stevenson
Harriman has announced he
will support Adlai E. Stevenson
for next vear's Democratic presi
dential nomination. President Ei-
wnhnwpr licked Stevenson in
1952 and there is some disagree
men among Democrats whether
the loser wants to run next year,
psneeiallv if he must run against
Mr. Eisenhower, which would be
likely.
Stevenson will be visiting Har
riman in Albany, N. Y., Satur
day, doubtless to talk 1956 poli
tics although the meeting was
tagged as social. Regardless of
the circumstances of their meet
ing and Harriman's endorse
ment of Stevenson, visitors to
Albany report the governor to be
in the posture of a candidate.
Judgment Important
All of this makes very im
portant to Harriman the public's
final judgment on Yalta and,
more specifically, his role in it.
Next to Mr. Roosevelt and the
late Harry Hopkins, Harriman
then was the big man in U.S.
relations with the Soviet Union.
He was U.S. ambassador to Mos
cow, 1943-46. But the record is
far from putting Harriman in the
role of a stooge or sucker for the
plots of Stalin, Molotov and
company. .
The books are not closed on
the step-by-step means by which
Generalissimo Josef Stalin came
to agree to enter the war again
st Japan. But, on the record as
so far revealed, it is possible
that Harriman had made the
deal long before the Yalta con
ference and without making
any of the territorial and politi
cal concessions to the Russians
which they finally obtained.
Harriman's Comment
Harriman's only comment on
that and other phases of the pa
pers now published was that he
sent 1,000 or so telegrams and
received as many during his am
bassadorship. He wants to con
sult them before talking out
loud, most of these did not ap
pear in the published papers.

An another front, Harriman
helped put the brakes on a plan
to give the Soviet Union large
post-war credits.
He shows up, also, bucking
the British and the Rusisans on
giving huge areas of Poland to
Russia.
It would appear on the face
of the facts as so far developed
that Harriman's close relation
ship to the Yalta conference
would not greatly handicap his
political career. It will be up to
the Republicans to alter that sit
uation, if they can.

Kindergarten Bill
Receives Protests
Salem (U.R) Operators of
private kindergartens said yes
terday a bill to regulate their
schools would put them out of
business.
The bill which would put
State Health Department con
trols on all private kinder
gartens and other special schools
for pre-school children was con
sidered at a legislative hearing.
At present only day nurseries
providing all day care are cov
ered by Health Department con
trols. .
Opponents of the measure sr.id
the additional requirements
under the bill would make it im
possible for them to continue
operating their schools. Sup
porters of the legislation said
the controls were needed for
the protection of children
against fire, health and safety
hazards.
House Appropriations
Committee Cuts Ike's
Labor, Health Budget
Washington (U.R) The House
Appropriations Committee, tak
ing its second Democratic whack
at President Eisenhower's Re
publican budget, claimed today
to have chopped about 10 per
cent out of requested funds for
the Department of Labor and
Health, Education and Welfare.
Among other cuts in a $2,337,
522,261 money bill for the two
departments and related agen
cies, the committee denied all
funds for Civil Defense planning
for such emergency activity as a
labor draft in event of atomic at
tack. It knocked out a $200,000
item for "cooperative research"
by the office of education and a
$120,000 request to finance a
new National Advisory Commit
tee on Education. It lopped
$100,000 off a $200,000 request
for the White House conference
on education and said no more
would be forthcoming for this
purpose.
In one instance the committee
gave the President more than he
asked, putting up an extra $750,
000 to start research on mentally
retarded children. It called this
"a great and growing problem"
with 3,000,000 to 5,000,000
youngsters accepted.
BLM Plans To Spend $225,000 in Oregon
The committee's claimed 10
per cent saving did not tell the
whole story. It did not take into
account what the committee
called an "uncontrollable" item
of $1,400,000,000 for grants to
states for public assistance.
Counting this in. the commit
tee trimmed $94,626,600 off re
quests for $2,432,148,861, wind
ing up with a net reduction of
about 3.8 per cent.
Honolulu, T.H. (U.PJ The
Hawaiian Islands were on the
alert last night because of a
tidal wave that failed to de

reported that a strong quake
had occurred off the Kamchatka
peninsula on the Russian Pacific
coast. And they said it presented
great danger of a tidal wave
that could roll across the Pa
cific toward the Hawaiian
Islands. The islands went on the
alert.

We keep coming across a good
many people who still are sur
prised when they see the low delivered
price of the Buick shown here.
They're surprised because they know
that this price is just about what a lot
of the smaller cars are asking if not
more.
Beyond that, the new transportation
charges to the West have moved Buick
prices even lower even below those
asked for the three best-known smaller
cars just a few months ago.
But that's just the point.
What's making the 1955 Buick the hot- '
test one in all Buick sales history is the
simple fact that its low delivered price
buys so muck more automobile.
Much more automobile when it comes
to the lift and life of great V8 power
Buick power in record might.
Much more automobile when it comes
to style and size and room and ride
steadiness and the integrity of con
struction that comes of Buick building.
Much more, too, when it comes to
matching your motoring needs to the
simple practicality of your budget
because Buick offers you a stunning
choice in just about every price class...
Like the rock-bottom-priced Special
the high-powered Century the
extra-spacious Super the magnifi
cent and custom-built Roadmaster.
Each is a Buick through and through
and each is a big reason why Buick
tales are soaring as never before.
Wiy not drop in on us this week and
see how much your new-car dollars
can really buy in thrills and fun and
, comfort and deep satisfaction when
you buy Buick.
